Do your students love a good infographic? Kids in the middle grades are frequently drawn to infographics because of their visual appeal and because information is presented in small bites. An infographic may be just one graphic, like a diagram, chart, or map, or it may be a compilation of graphics like the NASA infographic below.

For a couple of years now, enterprises have undertaken the digital transformation efforts by way of using cloud services, data analytics, mobile, IoT and other technologies. While many have successfully embraced digital transformation, others have lagged at using data and right set of technologies to transform their organization. A Forbes research reveals that while 44 percent of organizations foresee themselves to be advanced in data and analytics, more than 90 percent of them have already seen increased revenue due to its implementation.

In 2017, enterprise digital transformation will continue to gain traction helping businesses to improve and accelerate processes and build upon what has already been achieved. However, they must understand that DX is not only about technology. It is more about reshaping of how the individuals operate, breaking down the silos and broadening the scopes of various roles and processes within the organization. It requires careful planning, seamless collaboration and inclusion of all the departments.

Educators know we encounter many different types of learners in our classroom. Science class affords us the opportunity to meet the needs of hands-on, auditory, and visual learners. As we are faced with the task of teaching remotely, connecting with these types of learners is vital to our success.

One significant challenge familiar to all science teachers is getting students to understand data that is placed in front of them. Students often struggle with looking at different data sets and trying to make comparisons and interpretations.


My solution? Infographics. Infographics has been a great way for me to engage my students with data and encourage them to apply creative as well as critical thinking. And with the shift to online learning, I’m finding infographics more useful than ever.

Infographics are a great source of information and make reading information from the computer screen much easier, but just showing students an infographic and telling them to study it isn’t the most effective way to exploit the medium.
